    Make : Benelli
    Model : TNT600GT
    The Benelli TNT600GT joins the TNT600i in an exclusive club of 600cc four-cylinder sportbikes in India. The generously proportioned TNT600GT makes its debut in India along with four other Benelli sportbikes, all aiming to take on rival motorcycles in their respective segments and give Benelli a toehold in the massively important Indian two-wheeler market.
     
    Like all Benelli bikes for our shores, the TNT600GT is designed in Italy, made in China (home to Benelli owner QJ), and assembled in India by DSK Motowheels.The Benelli TNT600GT has a powerful presence with its faired-in structure. The GT’s distinctive nose fairing shows off neatly integrated turn signal indicators, and a potent looking headlight. Look further behind, and the TNT600GT comes across as a handsome, well-proportioned motorcycle, with a sleek fuel-tank and substantial riding saddle. The instruments and switchgear could be better on the GT, both seeming a bit dated and somewhat out of place on this modern looking bike. There’s a pair of comfortable palm grips, machined control levers (the brake lever reach adjustable), and smart, tapered mirrors. The Benelli TNT600GT also comes with neat alloy footrests.
     
     
    There’s a large alloy swingarm, and chunky tyres. The TNT600GT offers the option of lockable pannier storage bays, easily attached and detached as required. Speaking of which, you can’t help admire the Benelli’s flip to open ignition key.
